For an optimal student experience, any computer that takes a noticeably long period of time (e.g., more than 10 seconds) to start and run applications, even computers which meet the requirements above, should not be used for high-stakes computer-based testing, if possible. The testing platform does not permit access to other applications during testing. This means that any applications that may automatically launch during testing will interrupt the students testing session, logging the student out of the test. Applications such as antivirus updates, power management software (laptops), screen savers, and email with automatic message notifications should be configured so they do not launch during testing sessions. Even though the specifications state that each computer must have a mouse, touchpads are permitted for students who are comfortable using them.
